Meat Pies, Two Ways

From what I read, Meat Pies in Australia are like Hot Dogs in the U.S. You can get them everywhere, they aren’t pretentious, and should be eaten without a fork. Just use your good old hands.

Sounds like my kind of food.

I had a little extra time and decided to try making two variations of meat pie. I made one with a loose-beef type texture (precook the beef, then put it in the pie shell), I’m calling that Version 1.

I also made a meatloaf type pie. I mixed all the beef ingredients together and put it in the pie shell. So it was like a meatloaf in a pie. I called that Version 2.

So… which was my favorite?

drum roll…

VERSION 1. The second version was delicious, but watery. It would’ve been impossible for me to eat without a fork. Version two was definitely easier to prepare, but it’s really the taste and texture that I care about and Version 1 had both.
